The prison
population now stands at 89: 35 are cleared, 44 are awaiting clearance, and 10
are in the military commission system (of those, 7 are in “active” “trial”
proceedings while 3 have been “convicted”).

Of the 35 cleared,
30 (85.7%) are Yemenis and 5 are non-Yemenis.

Of the 44 awaiting
clearance, 19 are Yemenis and 25 are non-Yemenis.

PRB Data

The PRB has
approved for transfer 20 of the 25 detainees for whom it has issued decisions
(80.0%).

Of the 44
detainees who are PRB-eligible and still awaiting clearance:

·Five
were denied clearance in their initial appearance before the PRB and are in
various stages of file review (ISNs 28, 29, 242, 522) or getting a subsequent
full review (ISN 131);

·Four
have had their initial hearings and are awaiting decision (ISNs 508, 569, 1094,
1457);

For these
purposes, a detainee is “officially in the PRB process” when he has received
formal notification of the process and has been assigned a PRB hearing date,
based on either (a) the detainee appearing (even if only temporarily) on the PRB web page
tracking individual detainees’ proceedings, (b) my personal knowledge regarding
our PRB-eligible clients, or (c) information provided to me by counsel for
other PRB-eligible detainees.

Cleared
Detainee Data

23 of the 35 cleared
detainees currently at the base were cleared by the Obama Task Force. The
other 12 were cleared by the PRB, which means 8 PRB-cleared detainees have been
release.

Specifically, of
the 35 cleared:

17 are Yemenis
approved for “conditional detention” by the Obama Task Force

ONE NATION....UNDER SURVEILLANC

NO PLACE TO HIDE

Probably the most important book of 2014 as it gives a comprehensive look at the extent this country of mine has creeped into the bedrooms of all of us across the world-and the importance of hero EDWARD SNOWDEN- in risking his freedom to let all of us know. What we do with that knowledge will say alot about all of us...

WAR CRIMINALS WATCH

Ron Suskind's "The Way of the World"

If you have not read Ron's book then you do not have the whole story about what I have been doing to try to get my clients out ofGuantanamo. Ron kept up with my activities and even followed me around on occasion to get the full story... then he weaved my story in with the stories of other individuals who are concerned with the direction of the United States. I recommend the book to all of you out there who also care about the direction that the US has gone these past eight years and want to work to change things.
